Cloud Operations Engineer
MongoDB | Dec 2023 - Present (2 years)
Platform Engineering Projects:
- Automated Infrastructure Issue Resolution: Built a Golang service reducing 38% manual work by categorizing issues, comparing cluster goal vs current state, and auto-applying playbook fixes. Stack: Go, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, Jira APIs, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk
- Gateway Service Migration: Eliminated RabbitMQ dependency by building a single gateway endpoint with MongoDB Changestreams and Temporal framework, reducing race conditions and alert processing time. Implemented idempotent workflows
- Proactive Cloud Outage Detection: Engineered multi-source correlation system using sliding window algorithm with 1-hour lookback for confidence scoring. Auto-creates incidents from Prometheus alerts, correlating cluster signals and cloud provider health dashboards
Atlas Infrastructure Operations:
- Handle Atlas infrastructure issues from Go planner automations across AWS, GCP, and Azure
- Coordinate with cloud providers for RCA and analysis, resolve integration issues proactively
- Perform operational actions (MongoDB resync, cluster maintenance), prevent customer impact through proactive alerts

Major Projects
Automated Infrastructure Issue Resolution (MongoDB)
Tech Stack: Golang, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, Jira APIs, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk
Impact: 38% manual work reduction replacing 3 years of repetitive processes
Built a Golang automation service with a node-based execution graph using a modular executor pattern. System fetches Jira tickets, compares the Atlas cluster goal state vs current state, automatically applies fixes from playbooks or escalates to customers.
Gateway Service Migration (MongoDB)
Tech Stack: Golang, MongoDB Changestreams, Temporal Framework, TTL
Impact: Eliminated race conditions, reduced alert processing time, simplified architecture
Eliminated RabbitMQ dependency by building a single gateway service. Used MongoDB Changestreams for event-driven processing and the Temporal framework for idempotent child workflows.
Proactive Cloud Outage Detection (MongoDB)
Tech Stack: Temporal, MongoDB, Prometheus, Sliding Window Algorithm
Impact: Proactive detection with confidence scoring, auto-incident creation
Built a multi-source correlation engine using a sliding window algorithm with a 1-hour lookback. Correlates cluster signals with cloud provider health dashboards, produces confidence scores, and auto-creates tracking incidents.
ClickHouse Logging Infrastructure (NoBroker)
Tech Stack: ClickHouse, Fluent Bit, Redash, Grafana, LZ4HC
Impact: ₹10L+ annual savings, 10:1 compression, 5,000+ logs/sec throughput
Led Elasticsearch to ClickHouse migration. Researched ClickBench benchmarks, studied Zerodha/Cloudflare deployments, and implemented zero-downtime migration. Published an article on Medium reaching 1,000+ engineers.
Project Blackbox (NoBroker)
Tech Stack: Docker Swarm, Jenkins (Groovy), Perl, Traefik, Portainer, Prometheus, Loki
Impact: 100+ developers enabled, <5min Git push to HTTPS deployment
Built a complete self-service staging platform. Automated workflow: Git → Jenkins → Nexus → Portainer → Swarm → Traefik with Let's Encrypt SSL and dynamic subdomains. GitHub: vicknesh22/blackbox-swarm
NoBrokerHood Infrastructure (NoBroker)
Tech Stack: Kubernetes, Nginx, Automation Scripts
Impact: Scalable platform enabling application growth
